I don't know what I hud done to merit the
ipite of fortune which led me to No. 132
Peckover .-tree;, in search of lodgings.
Were the apartments diniryi Decidedly
so. The- paper was of a very trying pattern
■—in two dial;-;: the carpel rather more try
ing in yellows and browns, with this advan
tage, that its pattern was almost worn thread
bare and pleasantly effaced. The window
ry was of similar hue to the paper, and
muslin curtains, drawn partially reDss, had
become reduced by dust and .smoke to the
lame subdued color.
T len were one <>r two striking portraits,
family ones, probably, on the walls, oud a
pet more striking fire-stove ornament in the
grate. I forget further details.
Tue landlady was elderly and limp, with a
sort of washed-oul ami plaintive aspect and
a tendency to siLch and fold her hands. She
was very attentive, however, and anxious to
show her "first floor" to tin- best advantage.
"The curtains will wash?" said I, looking
around.
"Dear, yes, sir, surely! We was lcttin'
'cm hang to save the others, which the -un
fades 'em so, being tin; worst of stuffs aud
such like. Like u'A earthly things, as fade
mostly, don'l they, -:r;'!
The landlady sighed gently and folded her
hniid.-, again. She wore black worsted mit
tens.
'•1 hope," I said in my polite way, "you
don't mind my j:.lining it —but, of course —
your—ahem—the bed—is free, you know—
from—from—any little annoyances?"
I had hail my experience—preceding those
three years of paradise- and Mr. (/hick, and I
Was nervous, partly from dre ad of the indig
uatiou J had before aroused in the house
keeping breast by the above delicate ques
tion and partly from the recollection of re
suits that had followed "n the assurance of
landladies of another class that their know
ledge of natural history did nut extend to the
speeh-s alluded to, and that they were at
fault to comprehend my meaning.
Mrs. Maudle, that was her name, adopted
neither of the.,.' extremes; she only shook
her head pensively and said:
'•I'o my knowledge there ain't a living
flea in this house;" 1 didn't mean fleas
though, '•lull you know, sir, we live in a vale
of tears, and in course there will be. such
trials ;<>r all at times. If I sin so tired, 1
hope to bear it meekly."
And iVunk Mrs. Maudle shed a tear.
"I am very glad to hear it," 1 said cheer
fully, "now about terms, if I arrange to
come."
"Oh, Don't speak of terms, sir: I'm sure
wbatyou've been in the habit of paying will
suit us, or less, may be, as it is more for the
keepin 1 of the roomsaired, bein'as the house
is too big for us, and the protection of bavin'
a gent like yourelf under our roof, Maudle
bein' low in his nerves of late years aud my
self havn't that sperrit as snme have, which
I'm sure, sir, anything we can do to make
you comfortable and feel at home, as there's
lio place like it "
"Ah.! thank you—thank you."
The light— when the windows were cleaned
—wonld suit my work, the exchequer was
somewhat low, time was an object, and, tak
ing all in all, I closed with my obliging land
lady's terms, which gave her much pensive
satisfaction.
"And if you'll be pleased to name your
wishes, sir, in all respects," said Mrs. Mau
dle witli a faint sigh in conclusion, "we
hope tn do our humble best to meet 'em."
"You are very good," said I: I don't
think you'll find me exacting; I confess to a
few weaknesses. 1 dislike damp salt and
smoky potatoes. 1 object to a hot dinner on
a cold plate, and I'm partial to clean linen.
That's about all. 1 think."
Mrs. Maudle readily acquiesced in these
modest requirements, observing that a "han
gel couldn't want less." aud thereupon we
parted.
In due time myself and my few belongings
were conveyed in a cab to l'-i'Z Peckover
street. I had dined, and beyond a «
wanted nothing. Mrs. Maudle
brought n:e the coffee herself.
"I'm sure sir, I hope it's as you like."
said she meekly; but if not you'll kindly
name it aud Sophonisba Ann wil bring yonj
water ut any hour you'll mention in the
mornin', sir, Sophonisba Ann mostly waits
on lodgers, sir, (that's my daughter), and I
am sure always willin". though that timid
ami softhearted—but there! don't mini! me
a savin', as a mother, perhaps more than 1
had ought to respectin' my own.'
I said I was much obliged to her aud her
daughter for their kind intentions, ami
wished her good night. Shi 1 sighed audibly,
and held the door handle for another miv-
Ute, then with an air of resignation retired.
Morning brought breakfast and Sophon
isba Ann. This young person was, if pos
sible, meeker and more depressed than her
parent. She carried her head a little on
one side and sniffed with every breath as if
from chronic influenza. Her complexion
was pale not to say pasty, aud her hair aud
eye-brows whitey brown. Sophonsiba Ann's
figure was remarkable for depression where
fullness might be expected and a curious
bulging tendency whereever the opposite
effect '.v:is usual. Her attire was chiefly not
able for hooks and eyes—with a difference
of opinion that materially hindered friend
ship, and refractory hair pins, which I found
had a way for dropping out into all sorts of
odd places. I found one, one day, at the
bottom of my jug of porter, at dinner!
The interesting young person contrived to
make a surprising clatter with the breakfast
ware, upset a chair and threw down a pile of
my books before making her exit. I attribu
ted this to the timidity which her mother had
assured me was counterbalanced by so many
virtues, and could not, iv reason, complain;
but when, in removing the breakfast things,
the same pile of books underwent precisely
the same fate, and gave me such a start that
1 nearly cut off a linger in mending a pen,
I could not help saying, rather brusquely.
"For heaven's sake," my good girl, be careful
What you do next," which produced quite an
attack of sniffing and a hasty retreat on the
part of the unlucky maiden.
A little later in the day, my landlady
knocked timidly at my door.
"Come in !" said 1.
She came in, folding her hands and look
ing up at the ceiling.
"I'm sure, sir. you'll excuse it, though a
liberty, but as I'm a mother, which it's noth
ing after all. and I've no call to worrit, I'm
certain, but it's my daughter, sir, a takin' on
so after you spoke to her this mornin' and if
yon'd be so very kind, seeiu' as Sophonisba
Ann is so tender-hearted"
"What is it about;" I said, as the tearful
lady paused to take breath, "I don't under
stand."
"Oh, and lam sure you didn't mean for
to hurt her feelin's, sir, and she owns it"
she's said as much in that kitchen down be
low to me. 'His way seemed harsh,' she
says, 'but his heart's in the right place,' she
says; 'I'm certain sure of it', she says, and
she's been a cry in' her eyes out, which Soph
onisba Ann is rather 'sterical at times, sir;
and I'm a mother, with, I hope, a mother's
feelin's, as you'll excuse me, sir. I'll tell
her I'm sure you don't mean nothink, and
likely it won't so occur again."
'•Bless me" said I "'this is very foolish; of
course I didn't mean to hurt your daughter's
feelings, ma'am: pray tell her so; I'll re
member to speak less abruptly since you've
named it.'
She almost wept at this.
"Oh! sir. you're the most feelin' gent as '
everl did, I'm sure. I don't kuowwhatevermy !
gurl'll say—and the last gent we had so dif- j
ferent —sowiolentin his language; not to
speak of banging the door. O dear! what it
is to have a sperrit, which is what me and
mine never had, ami so the world tramples
on us," said Mrs. Maudle.
"I hope not," said I. "You should take a
more cheerful view of life, Mrs. Maudle.'
1 was very busy, and wished she would go,
but she didn't.
"Well, sir," she observed with a sigh,
"I always was one of the down-hearted
and Maudle'.s nerves that low! I never
shall forget when he aßtei me to have him —
that's Beven-and-twenty years ago —'Mariar, 1
he Bays to me (that's my name) — "but
there, sir, don't mind me. which as a wife I
hope I have a wife's feelin's"; and Mrs.
Maudle Bhed tears.
1 did mind her very much, and devoutly
wished her at the north pole, as she stood
in the doorway wiping her eyes with her
apron, and evidently waiting my .sympa
thy.
"I'm sure Mr. Maudle's choice does him
credit." I said desperately, "he couldn't
have done better than take a good wife to
Booth the path of life for him; wasn't that
your door bell?"
"Sophonsiba Ann will answer the door,
sir, which I think you was mistaken, and it
didn't ring."' said Mrs. Maudie. "I'm sure
I never did meet with a gentleman so
thoughtful and feelin'; a real friend, as
one may say, already, and I'm oulv thank
ful"
"I'm afraid I must trouble you to shut
that door, Mrs. Maudle", I gasped. ''I'm
subject to ear-ache, and the draught" —I
hope I shall be forgiven for the libs that
woman caused me to invent. She slowly
withdrew, murmuring motherly compassion,
aud faintly suggested pepper plasters, and
other mild remedies for ear-ache, while I
took up my pen and tried to collect my scat
tered ideas.
I had not yet seen Mr. Maudle, the state of
whose "nerves" kept him mostly confined
to an armchair in the kitchen, but from
occasional sounds of melody, something
like feebly rendered choruses of a jovial
nature, iv which a slight confusion of con
sonants was perceptible, I concluded that
cvi n Mr. M. bad intervals of comparative
cheerfulness. Moreover, J discovered that
there was a son of the house—a tall youth
with whitey-brown hair, and skin and a
stoop in his shoulders —whose avocation
seemed to be near at hand, by his punctual
n turn to meals at stated hour.-, in the day.
With this young man 1 was fated, alas! too
soon to become acquainted.
One evening, a little before my dinner,
Maudle waited on me with an air of meek
mystery to ask her son might '"step up by
and-by," and speak to me, if so be that I
had ii" objection.
His name, his mother told me, was Cin
cinnatus: he was rather low-spirited, and
had. in fact, s'.;iietiihiL r, on his mind.
••Dear me;" I said, "poor fellow! any
trouble? Nothing serious, I hope?"
"Oh, dear, no, sir—leastwise, nothing
wrong. (Jin's as innocent as the babe un
born, as to evil ways, sir; no it's the mind,
that's ! where it j is;"' (mysteriously) "he's
U"t a soarin' mind, sir, and the world's too
little for him."
"Indeed:" said I, mentallyregetting that
the young gentleman had selected me a- the
confident of hi- mental trial.-; but,alas! I lit
tle guessed what was to come. Scarcely was
the cloth removed when a modest rap an
nounced my new acquaintance, aud Cincin
natus entered, bearing a huge brown paper
parcel, in which he deposited with a jerk on
the table, violently shaking back a long wisp
of hair which kept falling rehellibusly into his
eyes, and sinking immediately into the first
chair near, with an air of profound dejection.
This young man had a large nose of the
-oleum Roman type, very red eyelids, and a
sonorous voice with a twangln it. He
told me he was in an attorney's ollice, but
that the work was very distasteful to him,
and he had thoughts of giving it up and turn
ing author.
He had begun several works of importance.
one of which (his "chef devour,""he called it)
he had brought up with him.
. "Blank verse mostly,.sir," he explained,
"in ten books, revealing the mysteries of a
human soul to the moon, who is supposed
to be listening—poetical license, of course—
you understand. The first three books "
"Isn't it a risk," interrnpted I,shrinking
from the prospect of being pressed into the
same service as the moon, and resolved to
be as practical as possible, "Isn't it a risk to
give up steady work for an uncertainty like
literature:"
••Well, sir, mother talks like that, and she's
right, turn you're right,in one point of view,"
said the youth, meekly; "but when you've a
soul, and when you're soul mounts beyond
the office stool, where are you then;"
He waved bis hand descriptively,as it were
of an ivrial fight; his nails were inky, and
very long,
"Well, I don't know," said I, "but hadn't
you better 1"
But lie had risen, and hurriedly commenced
undoing the brown paper, withdrawing from
it about fifty sheets of foolscap, well written
i >ver.
"Listen!" he cried oracularly, and slowly
recited as folfows:
Hail; cold, unfeeling orb, tho" thy bright ray
Mocks the absorbing madness of my soul!
Soon, soon thy last quarter will draw nigh;
But sooner still for me the funeral bell shall
toll !
"That's the-opening lines," said he; "the
next"
"My friend. I said, "I am afraid you will
find the public hard to satisfy; you must look
for disappointment."
"That's all I look for, sir," he interrupted,
'that : nd an early grave," he added,with a
• irtain air of satisfaction. "Aud as mother
aren't as well off as they were, I dare say
won't even be a recordin' marble to
be world Cincinnatus Maudle lies below
—but that's of no consequence."
lie sighed.
'Aren't you a little out of health?" I
ask. I ut this point.
"OU, yes, sir," he smiled. "I'm journey
ing tj the tomb. I've no sort of a doubt
; about it myself, but the cold world will pass
heedless by and think nothing of it. The
work!" so very sublunary! l)ou't you find
it so, stl"
l'Wi'!!. yr : T suppose it is that," I said,
never having had cause to d oubt it as a fact.
buj •■■ it is. But now let me
ai »friend."
i ■ looked up softly.
"I knew you would," he cried; "that's
just it, you will assist me, aud I'll step up
of evcuings aud we'll go throegh it together
gradual like. Yes, I felt sure you'd be the
friend to d< it: when mother said, 'Cm,
that's oaf first flfw going out,' I felt as if I
could open my heart to you like a brother; I
did indeed, sir."
•'Look here," I said, when he pased and
shook back the excited wisp Of white brown
hair, with joyful vehemence; "look here,
I'll let you ku ow when to bring it up. The
fact is I'm awfully busy just now; I haven't
a minute to spare for study or the delights of
the muse."
I smiied grimly a* I almost pushed him
out of the door, bearing his precious brown
paper parcel and overwhelming me with un
deserved thanks. Inwardly I resolved nev
er to have five minnUs 1 leisure to listen to
those "revelation? i» the moon" which
would henceforth haunt my waking and
sleeping hours, even -i. old the meek Ciu
cinnatus sink iuto his ehrly grave the soon
er, for lack of brotherly iv,uputhy.
The next morning who.i I entered my sit
tingroom Sophonisba Ann was there, a littla
belated, I concluded, as she. was iinishhigthe
operation of dusting, whicl: T never observed
to produce much result. Something in the
street had caught the daneel's notice, for
she did not observe my eitrance. as she
stood with her hands on her tips, the duster
hanging idly by her side, be- month open,
and\acantly fixed eyes: the niractory hair
pins in open rebellion, and stt&y wisps aud
tails of hair obtruding where \il<-v were off
duty; while the hooks and eyes & varianec
completed the effect of the bu|gj it es of So
phonisba Ann's figure before him d at.
Now, it happened that I v. ; s engaged in
making a series of sketches for a comic
journal, and Sophouisba Ann, al .lit- now
stood, was the very model I wanted For one
of them. The opportunity was too good to
be lost. I seized paper and pencil.
"One moment, my good girl!" I oried.
"Stay as you are; oblige me by not movhtr."
THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. SATURDAY MORNIXG, APRIL 19. 1884.
Of course she did not stay "as sue wa3,"
but nearly enough to enable me to throw on
paper the outline which had caught my fan
cy.
"Thanks- that will do," I said as blandly
as I could.
She simpered and actually forgot to sniffle.
"La, sir! whatever could you take me
like this for?" she cried at last. "If I'd
only been in my afternoon frock at least,
and done my hair up a bit tidy—if you had
told me; but la! now."
"Don'tname it," I said; "I'd rattier not,
in fact. I wanted you ju^t as you are."
The next evening Mrs. Maudle came up
smiling—yes, actually smiling!—with a
cheerful serenity, if not a littla excitemeni
in her demeanor, as she placed before me a
photographic likeness of Sopbronjsba Ann.
••Which .Maudle and me, sir, couldn't heal
of your puttiu' up with such a sketch like, al!
of a hurry; and bein'.as our gurl wasn't tid
ied up, as she'd a wished, in course, so Sop

Bteady, almost too steady for her station ii
life, as her father tells her; and Pm sun
both her father and me—but there, sir whei
you're a parent you'll know what a parent':
feelin's are."
Ail this was said in one breath, withoir
any pause v. hatever. I sat bewildered, won
dering if it would be unpardonable rude V
reject the offer of a lady's portrait, and what
1 c<,\i.<l say in excuse.
"I'm afraid," I began, "you're very kin<:
—the fact is—l think I didn't make mysell

"Oh, vis. sir, you did. Pray don't narn<

flaring red ribbon in her hair and an asser
tivr brooch in the front of her dress. Shi
stole furtive irbiK-.-.s at the mantelpiece, hal
shy, half simpering. I caught her eye b]
chance, when, overcoming her maidenlj
modesty, with a preliminary sniffle, she said
sweetly": "Ob, if you please, sir, abou

mother's quite agreeable, bein' as ycu'n
such a gentleman, and'" —
•■What do you mean;" I said, sharpl;
enough, and quite forgetting the "tende
beartcdness" of Sophonisba Ann iv the ex
cess of my bewilderment; but, instead o
answering me, that young person flew to tin
window crying; If there isn't that man a
crossing the street again. Oh! whatever'!

protect poor father, I know;" and she rushei
downstairs without further explanation.
Another minute and rapid and, it must b<
added, stumbling footsteps began aacendinj
the stairs, accompanied by the cries of Sop
hunisl.a Ann and the fainter sobs of he
mother in therear, and Mr. Mauile entered
supported by his son and closely followed b;
a rouu rh-and-ready looking per^ou with i
paper in his baud.
I stared.
Mr. Maudle waved his hand.
'•I—[—my dear friend—sir—'scuse-
abrupt visits," he cried iv a hazy sort o
voice. "F —friends may—waive sheie
mony."
Eere Mr. Maudle swerved suddenly, bu
Clncinnatns propped him up agaiu.
•And I—l believe I'm correct in saying I
f—friend in need's a friend indeed." (Thi
very rapidly spoken.) "Under these shir
cumstances, I—l'm bound to forego a pai
cut's feelings"
'•Yes, Maudle, that's it," cried Mrs. M
from behind the apron she held to her eyes
'•we know what you'd say—what we'd bot
say, and feel likewise, and thank our stars a
sent you, sir, to our aid, which I'm sure wi
never can repay, as its £14 12s. Gd."
"£14175. Gd.," interrupted the rough-am
read) looking person, with a hoarse cough
"Yes, take her, take my child, and blea
you!" cried Mr. Maudle, extending his arm:
like the "heavy father," in a play, "and tel
thish minion of the law, that —that his clam
shatisfied and a helpless, aged parent savei
from —ruin and—dishtresh."
Here Mr. Maudle broke off, weeping.
"Happy day !"• said Cincinnatus, "I sail
you were like a brother when first I saw you
and I'll put it all iv my great work, that ai
'ollow-hearted world may resd and bi
ashamed of not doing likewise!" with whicl
rather ambiguous speech Cincinnatus agaii
propped up his swaying parent, whose emo
tions were too much for him.
"May you both—be—happy!" murmuret
Mr. Maudle.
"O, la, father!" cried Sophonisba Ann
hysterically.
" "What docs it all mean?" I was forced t
ask the bearer of the mysterious paper, whi
was the only coherent one of the party.
'•Why, sir, this here's a distress forth
sum of £14 17s. 7<l. owing to the parties a

I waited for no more. "Gracious alive!'
I exclaimed, "are you all idiots or lunatics
or what* Grant me my senses to get clear o
this! Here, take the rent—take a week -
take a month over for the notice—only le
me begone." And Hinging the money oi
the table, I rushed to collect my traps
thrusting the things into bag and portman
teau as if for lite or death, and neve
pausing till I strode forth—minus two pair
of boots, an umbrella and a cigar ease, lei
behind in the hurry—in search ot T the firs
friendly cab which should bear me far fron

His Little, Joke.
Boston Globe.
"There's a young lady waiting up in you
office to see you,"' said a man who has ai
adjoining ollice to Mr. Blank's on the thin
floor of a State street building on Tuesday.
"Oh, there is, is there?" returned Mr
Blank, who was just going out of the fron
door. "And you came down stairs to tel
me of it, did you?"
"Why, yes, I didn't want her to wait ther
for an hour or two if I could save her th
trouble. You must have passed her at thi
elevator door, for she came in the minute af
ter you went out."
'•Very kind of you. wasn't it! I say, she'
a young woman, I suppose?"
"I thought so."
"And pretty?"
"I didn't call her bad looking, by an;
means."
' 'All riuht," said Mr. Blank with a quie
smile, "tell her to step into your office am
wait. I'm going to Canada."
•'But look here," cried his friend afte
him, seeing that he really meant to go away
"what shall I tell her?"
Mr. Blank turned round, thrust his ham
into one of his pockets, brought forth tw
objects, and held them up to his companion'
view. One of them was a gaudily paintei
paper doll, and the other looked like a coun
terfeit fifty-cent piece with a nail stiekin;
out of it.
"Twice in one day," he said with a d;
look. "It's worn out, old man. Try some
thing green."
With that lie skipped down the steps am
bustled off about his business, rejoicing ii
bis own acuteuess. About an hour after hi
came back. He stopped at C's door as hi
went by to say a few sarcastic words abou
his joke.
"I say, C," he began. But there he stop
ped; for having got his head far enough in
to the room he perceived his own wife com
fortably seated vis-a-vis with his friend.
"I didn't know you knew Mrs. Blank!'
he stammered.
"Oh, is this Mrs. Blank?" exclaimed C.
with well-feigned astonishment. "I did no
know it. You told me to ask the lady int<
my ofliee, and I did. I was just .arranging
how I could make it comfortable for he;
while you were in Canada when you came in
I'm sorry you decided not to go; but In
satisfied if you are." '
Mr. Blank concluded to be satisfied, buti
is said that what he meant to be a smih
turned out to be a sicdly grin as he accepted
the explanation.
THE BOMANT.
Imposing Funeral of the Dead Queen of the
Gypsies.
Gannle Jeffers, queen of the gypsies of
the Unitei States, died at Grenefield, Term.,
on March 10, and was buried at Dayton.
Ohio, April 15. The gypsies sre encamped
all abont the city to the number of about
1,500, traveling by wagon from all parts of
the country. The queen was embalmed and
laid out in Nashville, Term., immediately
upon her death, and when brought to this
city, where her tribe own considerable pro
perty and a large lot in Woodland 'cemetry,
where lies buried a former queen and kin«r of
he gypsy tribes in this nation, she looked
beautiful indeed. She was in a handsome
casket made of the finest wood, lined with
the finest silks and satin, and decorated with
gold and jewels. In the cemetry, where she
was buried to-day amid the most touching
and impoiins ceremonies, the lot belonging
to the gypsies is marked by an exquisite
monument of granite, shipped here from
Greece. The funeral procession, which was
composed entirely of gypsies, formed in the
northern section of the city and marched to
the southern extremity of the city, when- the
cemetery is located. The crowd of people
was immense, At the grave a rope was
! stretched around, it, leaving an me! sure
lar^-e enough for the mourners to stand. The
crowd surged up against this rope, bending
it almost to beeakiug. The mounds in the
vicinity were trodden on: buys and men sat
on tombstones, and filled thi.- tree- andevery
place that would afford au opportunity of
! seeing what was going on.
The funeral services were Christian, I
conducted by one of the leading pasi
this city with choir of his church. The wife
of the reverend gentleman accompanied the
mourning husband. The grave was sunk in
the ground about ten feet. It was a squan
pit about ten by eight feet in dimensions.
At the bottom was a box made of stone slal .-,
and in this box the coffin was laid bytb
of another, that of a daughter of the dei -
| She was only 10 years old, and died iv ' J66,
i but the body had been exhumed to be placi d
beside the mother. There were stifled and
- .is the mourners gathered about the
grave, and several broke out in loud cries as
the coffin was lowered. Th • i reacher refer
ed to the deceased, whom he had known per
■ soually in life. She had been a Christian, he
said, and the bible she had worn with reading
was placed at her feet now that she was dead.
At the conclusion of his remarks the choir
sang "The Sweet By and By," and th
vices closed. But the most nfL i
was when the great hU>n- was .'.in.at Id be
lifted by means of a derrick close at hand
■ and the stone box containing the coffin clos
! cd. The sous and daughters climbed down to
I the coffin to take their hist farewell, the lat
[ ter being lifted into the grave. Their
aud cries tilled the air, and were echoed by
the mourners that stood on the brink of the
; <_ rrave. They threw themselves prostrate on
• the coffin, kissing the wood, and it was only
• with.great difficulty they were prevailed on
, to come out of the grave, aud they were as
sisted out, finally, after much entreaty. By
means of the derrick and the stone- laid was
then put into position and the dirt thrown
upon it. A huge monument will bo erected
over the grave—a life-sized statue, of white
- marble of the dead gypsy quecu.
